The best way to save some deals is to walk away and live to find another.Take the long view and get a team put together, a team of skilled professionals so you can do this again and again.Need help to assemble the team PM me.

sounds more like the previous homeowner, Then a inspection didnt reveal and he laughed all the way to the scrap yard.heard one guy was losing his house,,,didnt want anyone to have his nice expensive flooring he had put in,,,took his skill saw and make a giant X in the whole floor.

The strategy is easy to learn but the presentation takes some human engineering skills.

One last point about agents, don't use them if they are not skilled.

So far long term I plan to buy and hold, short term look more into wholesaling where I can use my networking skills to get me going.

It's a very useful skill and a win/win situation for everyone. :)

After you are comfortable with wholesaling, expand your skills into other areas that interest you.

The second is, how do I leverage my skills and vision as a remodeler and recycler of used housing to maximize my economic opportunities in this business?

These are not skills you picked up last week.....these are skills that you want to have, and skills that I am sure have taken you a lot of time, money, and missteps along the way to learn.

its better that you get the service of some good seo skilled person the will help you to promote your site up.
